lets see.... after 5 rounds: bianca: (370 mil left)
batman (1)
gotham (3)
orion (2)
king pin (1)
lex luthor (1)
martian manhunter (1)
nowhereman: (410 mil left)
hal jordan (1)
wolverine (1)
ghost rider (2)
lobo (2)
blue beetle (2)
black canary (2)
silver: (350 mil left)
wonder woman (1)
spider-man (1)
captain america (1)
barbara gordon (1)
ironman (1)
nightwing (1)
allan: (420 mil left)
superman (1)
captain atom (2)
thanos (2)
thor (1)
quasar (2)
dark claw - unavailable. clarification: almalgam universe is a seperate world from existing DC and marvel characters. you ARE, however, free to select "access" (but... really, why?). to close out round 5, allan needs to select again. (but i am accepting bianca's selection of black cat if she wants to maintain her selection after allan's redo). [ 05-01-2002: Message edited by: Rob Kamphausen ]

Clarification point-If I chose Access,would I then be able to select from the Amalgam characters as he is the one who can combine them or not? If not,then I choose Venom.

as for 'access' - to my knowledge, he has no power of forced amalgamation, but rather, the mere ability to jump between worlds. regardless, you are free to select him. and, for final ruling - no, he does not permit almagamated characters. and bianca... silence, woman! i apologize for the mathematical error, but... look, i spelled 'mathematical' correct, so all is well in the world. do you continue with your previous selection, currently "on hold"?

No problem there Rob.But i do believ he does have the power to amalgamate as shown in "All Access"(4 issue mini that I think Marvel put out a few years ago) but it's been a loooooong time since I read it so I could be mistaken.

Hey...money is a big deal in this...with "losing a turn" coming a very close second. And I'll stick with Black Cat as my choice when the issue above is resolved/solved.

ok. now seems like a pretty good time to evaluate each of the companies thus far. who has the most powerful bunch? who has the most interesting? who has the appearance of the best comic book line up? which company seems like the 'sleeper' hit? any trades at this point? other opinons:

With the exception of Bianca, I'm seeing a general lack of villains to go up against the impressive range of heroes currently assembled by each company. (speaking of which...don't they have to buy names sometime?) I would say some good supporting characters are in order as well. Sidekicks are always necessary. A company cannot survive on icons alone. (though DC would try and make you believe differently) In the end though, I know practically nothing. I've been out of comics since the mid 80's (go Ghost Rider) and now I only read Planetary, when it fucking comes out.

Suggested characters: Gambit
Cyclops
Prof. X
Carnage
Ra's Al Ghul
Spectre
Tribunal
The Demon
War Machine
Starman
Havok
Fantasic Four
Sauron (decent tier 3 villain imo)
Sabretooth
Omega Red
Mr. Sinister
Nightcrawler
Phalanx
Exodus (always liked this guy for some reason)
Strong Guy
Multiple Man
Cable
Stryfe
Apocalypse
Magneto's Avalon as intellectual property (like Gotham)
Weapon X project
That guy who had adamantium skin and fought Wolvie a lot...Cyber was it?
Morph
Forge
Bishop
Sentinels
Planetary Team (do they count?) If any of these guys are dead and unusable...that just shows how long it's been since I picked up a comic that hasn't been given to me by Chewy. I really think there should be something of a group discount...people like the Fantastic Four should not be separated.

ill agree with that. quote:

yeeup. im assuming they're holding off until the end, tho, to get all their bids in. quote:
I would say some good supporting characters are in order as well. Sidekicks are always necessary. A company cannot survive on icons alone.
prolly also something that will come later on. quote:
In the end though, I know practically nothing.
i know you said more than that, but quoting just this was funnier.
my personal opinions on the companies:
bianca
this company is far and away leading the pack. she might not have the most powerful grouping, but certainly of the selections thus far, she has the most intriguing universe. its as if her entire universe is 'gotham.' luthor and kingpin are struggling for power positions in the city, all the while individually (and combined) attempting to thwart batmans' protection over the burg. detective j'onn jones and black cat are there as part of batman's team. even the question fits in nicely. orion... well... he's got that cool flying platform! zoooom!
nowhereman
like the selector himself, this team has all the 'MAN am i angry' kinda guys. even with the exlusion of batman (and possibly daredevil), this is a frank miller type world.
it does show potential of working, and holding together, but... unlike bianca's novel/month with hundreds of substories, this universe seems like it'd have a different book for each character, but every book would be essentially the same grim'n'grittyness.
silvie
silvie's team is exactly the opposite -- its the optimists paradise! babs, cap'n, spidey, ww, even dick grayson... they're all happy-type heroes, or at least uplifting ones.
i do really like the pairing of spidey and nightwing, as i think they have many similar traits (spidey might have a slight edge, but nightwing'd be bangin mary jane!) otherwise, this 'verse looks like a lil utopia. poor green goblin!!!
allan
this strikes me as an 'adventures in outer space' book. all of the characters are either world powers, or strange aliens, etc. where bianca's world takes place on a local level, allan's thus far seems to take place on a global or universal level -- big n'powerful n'scary n'all that.

For the record, I have consulted with Bianca on all of her choices, and you guys are going up against a writer. I have a prearranged list as it is. And with Bianca MIA and my taking over, it is my pick I believe. To continue with my idea of a Crime world ruled by ganglords, and where the Super-heroes are intelligent but flawed or weak (I was pissed I couldn't get Blue Beetle)... My next selection is.... Daredevil. I would picture teamups with Batman and the Question, perhaps conflicts in practice of law vs. Justice. J'onn is a great Super power to have, and Orion? Well if you read the series, you would see what he's like. A nasty customer who could wipe out a state.

One thing Grant Morrison has taught me: "Get me on the book and I can turn the lamest guy into the next 'thang', baby." ....well, that's really a translation, hard to make out what he really said from that god-awful accent.
